Cambodian construction worker arrested for stabbing death of co-worker

A Cambodian construction worker has been arrested for the stabbing death of a countryman during a drunken argument on Koh Larn.

Wandee Chien, 29, was captured while sleeping in a wooded area in the hills on the Pattaya island July 9. He was charged with the murder of Rand Bond, 30, who suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest and back.

Police have caught Wandee Chien and are bringing him to face justice for stabbing to death his supposed friend.

Witnesses said Wandee, Rand and three other Cambodians drank about five bottles of wine and dined on dog-meat soup at a Koh Larn construction site when Rand began boasting about his skill in picking winning fighting cocks. For some reason this annoyed Wandee, who began arguing with Rand.

Witnesses claim Wandee settled the dispute by stabbing his co-worker, then ran into the night, hiding in the hills.
